Do you need to know more about what to do when you're preparing home comparison in the competitive local real estate market?
Understand that there’s no “right” time to buy a home.
If you find the most suitable house in 22303 in Fairfax County now, don’t risk losing it because you’re trying to guess where the interest rates are going in Fairfax County! Factors like market price and interest rate rarely fluctuate enough to make a difference in an individual house’s price. A much bigger factor in your purchase is the property itself. Each property, each home is unique. So, a home for sale today, might not be available when the market changes.
It doesn't matter what other people like.
A bit of encouragement is helpful, but you can confuse the desires of others, for your own needs and wants. Consider your own needs and wants as a buyer, before you consider advice and desires of people who will not be living in the home.
Accept that there is no perfect house.
There are many examples of compromises that buyers have to make every day. Consider a few of these possibilities. Maybe you love the kitchen, but hate split levels homes. If it’s in the right location, the yard may be a bit smaller than you had hoped. Prioritize your home ownership desires and home ownership requirements, and focus only on properties in Alexandria that fit your specified criteria.
You can't negotiate a super-deal in Fairfax County, Virginia.
Your home is more than a simple investment. It's your home. It's more important to get the right home than the right price. We have a very efficient real estate market in Fairfax County and most homes will trade for about what they are worth. There are very few properties that sell for more or less than the appraised value.
When you're buying a house like 3413 Tennessee Dr in Alexandria, you're also buying a neighborhood like 22303.
Don’t get completely enamored by the physical aspects of a home to the point that you forget about important issues such as:
- neighborhood pride of ownership
- resalability
- privacy
Prepare ahead.
Don't shop for homes before you:
- select a Realtor
- investigate insurance
- consider a moving schedule
- figure your budget
